Federal agencies and commercial threat intelligence companies have identified numerous, high-volume campaigns run by different groups linked to Moscow\u2019s election influence operations, including <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/us-international-authorities-seize-russian-ai-bot-farm\/\">Doppelganger<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/Media\/News\/2024\/240709.pdf\">RT<\/a>, a Russian state media organization.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian actors have used the tools to generate social media posts and mimic news organizations. The work has targeted English-speaking and Spanish-speaking voters, attempting to polarize opinions on the presidential candidates and issues like the Israel\/Gaza conflict.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>China, conducted an extensive AI influence operation during Taiwan\u2019s elections earlier this year, and is now using AI to shape global views of China and <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/spamouflage-targeting-us-election-candidates\/\">amplify divisive U.S. political issues<\/a>. However, intelligence officials said they have not observed China-linked actors using AI to target or influence U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<p>With the rise of generative AI tools over the past two years, experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/cybersecurity\/2024\/02\/imitation-game\/394249\/\">have rushed<\/a> to develop their own software that can accurately detect and flag fake or manipulated media.<\/p>\n<p>Because many of these tools were also built using AI, experts have warned that validating authentic media would turn into a perpetual cat-and-mouse game, with bad actors constantly adapting their systems to evade the latest detection techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, that hasn\u2019t happened. In countries like <a href=\"https:\/\/teamt5.org\/en\/posts\/whitepaper-cyber-threats-against-taiwan-s-2024-presidential-election\/\">Taiwan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/technology\/artificial-intelligence\/deepfakes-lok-saha-elections-ai-detection-tools-9327730\/\">India<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/biden-robocall-deepfake-elevenlabs\/\">United States <\/a>and others, foreign attempts to mislead voters using deepfake media have often been quickly identified as digital forgeries, casting significant doubt on their authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence officials declined to provide details on the efforts\u2019 scope or impact, saying such analysis would in part require them to monitor social media activity that falls under First Amendment free speech protections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But U.S. officials said they are closely monitoring for signs that bad actors have improved their efforts , whether it\u2019s by creating their own powerful models or finding ways to more effectively amplify content..<\/p>\n<p>Another senior ODNI official confirmed that part of those efforts do include conversations with AI companies <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tech-platforms-ai-elections-misinformation-disinformation\/\">who have tools<\/a> \u201cthat could be used across the lifecycle of a foreign influence campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur exchanges with technology companies focus on evolving foreign adversary tools, tactics and procedures. We also talk about authentication and attribution approaches, which is a helpful place for us to compare notes,\u201d the second ODNI official said.<\/p>\n<p>Even as generative AI has made it easier to create convincing fake media, countries like Russia still rely on less technically-advanced manipulation methods that don\u2019t require sophisticated algorithms.For example, ODNI officials said one of the most high-profile examples of Russia using synthetically manipulated media to target Vice President Kamala Harris \u2013 a video purporting to show her involved in a hit-and-run car accident in 2011 \u2013 was a staged event and did not use AI. That bolsters <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/russian-threat-groups-shift-attention-to-harris-walz-campaign-researchers-find\/\">reporting from Microsoft<\/a>, which said earlier this month that the video was crafted using paid actors and spread through a fake news outlet created by Russian influence actors.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.7692307692308\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/adversaries-generative-ai-use-isnt-fooling-the-masses-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
